Paroles et traduction LAY - 愛蓮說

愛蓮說

水陸草之花
可愛者甚蕃
予獨愛蓮

晉陶淵明獨愛菊
自李唐來世人盛愛牡丹
予獨愛蓮出淤泥而不染
可遠觀而不可褻玩焉

青竹 刻武功 醉倒竈臺中
桃花 迷惑英雄 隔年拋東風
紅梅下酒 江湖行走 大俠總風流
黃菊入喉 陶潛不愁 詩人爭消瘦

誰也見過 萬中花色 卻獨陷泥塘愛蓮荷
無花同伍 無草共處 世上熱鬧都被辜負
不貪 不嗔 不痴 不怨 不憎 不惑

蓮 花之君子也 (接天葉碧 映日花紅)
蓮 花之君子也 (不求同好)
蓮 花之君子也 (別具一格 遠觀就好)
蓮之愛 同予者何人?

Woah, 我江湖走過許多年
看盡了萬花我只愛一朵蓮
Woah, 不能釀美酒 不能飾視窗 清白走 (yeah, oh)

年少 叢中游 愛花因風流
悠悠 百花瘦 唯它不藏袖
難相守 不長留 蓮子苦入喉 (woo, yeah)

蓮之愛 怪人愛
世人不分青紅皂白也難怪
怪人愛 世人猜
污泥滿身不染半分花照開 (花照開 baby)

蓮 花之君子也
蓮 花之君子也
蓮 花之君子也
蓮之愛 同予者何人?

蓮之愛 (晉陶淵明獨愛菊) 怪人愛
世人不分青紅皂白也難怪 (自李唐來世人盛愛牡丹)
怪人愛 (予獨愛蓮出淤泥而不染) 世人猜
污泥滿身不染半分花照開 (可遠觀而不可褻玩焉)

Water Lily's Charm

Flowers of the land and water,
Many are the ones I find lovely.
But the water lily, it is my one true love.

Tao Yuanming of the Jin Dynasty loved chrysanthemums.
Since the Tang Dynasty, peonies have been the world's favorite.
But the water lily, it rises from the mud, yet is not stained,
To be admired from afar, but not to be profaned.

Green bamboo, a symbol of martial prowess, falls drunkenly into the stove.
Peach blossoms, alluring to heroes, are cast aside the following year by the east wind.
Red plum wine, the drink of江湖heroes, makes them carefree and unrestrained.
Yellow chrysanthemums, consumed by Tao Qian, dispel his sorrow, while poets compete to be the thinnest.

Who has ever seen, amidst the myriad colors of flowers, one who would immerse themselves in a muddy pond to love a water lily?
Without flowers to keep it company, without grass to share its space, all the热闹of the world is lost to it.
No greed, no resentment, no痴, no怨, no憎, no惑.

The water lily, a gentleman among flowers (Its leaves are as green as the sky, its flowers as red as the sun).
The water lily, a gentleman among flowers (It seeks no approval).
The water lily, a gentleman among flowers (It is unique, to be admired from afar).
Who shares my love for the water lily?

Woah, I have traveled the江湖for many years,
I have seen countless flowers, but my heart belongs to a single water lily.
Woah, it cannot be brewed into wine, nor can it adorn a window, it walks in purity (yeah, oh)

In my youth, I wandered among the flowers, loving them for their beauty.
As time passed, the other flowers wilted, but the water lily remained, hidden up my sleeve.
Difficult to keep, it does not stay long, the lotus seed is bitter to swallow (woo, yeah)

The love of the water lily is a strange love.
No wonder the world does not understand, unable to distinguish right from wrong.
A strange love, the world speculates,
Covered in mud, yet its flowers bloom without a trace of stain (baby)

The water lily, a gentleman among flowers.
The water lily, a gentleman among flowers.
The water lily, a gentleman among flowers.
Who shares my love for the water lily?

The love of the water lily (Tao Yuanming of the Jin Dynasty loved chrysanthemums) is a strange love.
No wonder the world does not understand, unable to distinguish right from wrong (Since the Tang Dynasty, peonies have been the world's favorite).
A strange love (I love the water lily, for it rises from the mud, yet is not stained) the world speculates.
Covered in mud, yet its flowers bloom without a trace of stain (To be admired from afar, but not to be profaned).
